Orthodontics at Any Age : Orthodontic treatment includes the use of braces or other appliances to put gentle pressure on teeth to move them into the right position.

Root Canal Treatment: Root canal treatment is the process of removing the infected, injured or dead pulp from a tooth.

Fillings: While there are several different types of fillings available to fill a cavity, it is entirely up to you to decide what type is to be used.

Crowns: If your tooth is damaged but not lost, a crown (also called a cap) can be used to cover the damaged part of your tooth. This protects your tooth from further damage.

Cosmetic Dentistry:

With the need to look good, over the years, there has been a steady increase demand for Cosmetic Dentistry. Here, utilizing certain procedures, a person’s appearance can be changed to an extent. The following cosmetic procedures are offered:

Bonding and Veneers: To make your teeth look better by changing their colour, shape or spacing.

Whitening: Although teeth are not naturally meant to be completely white, many people want whiter teeth for that confident and brighter smile. Accordingly, a wide range of "whitening" options are available

Ceramic Veneers: These veneers are bonded to the surface of your teeth to correct chips, gaps, or additional problems.

Diastema Closures: This procedure is used to close gaps between teeth.
